Finally had the time to finish this drama. Realistically overall +7.5/10; very weak at the start, strong in the…
A very interesting perspective from a totally different angle. Normally, viewers' crushes are on Wei Ying and Lan Zhan. Your view is absolutely refreshing to read. Thank you for bringing us a different way of viewing this drama. Yes, I also love the line you mention here, "人生得一知己; 足矣." It means a lot to me too.
Hats off to Mo Xiang Tong Xiu for writing this novel. I admit, I am not familiar with Chinese Genres and literary…
What a beautiful write-up encapsulating everything in the drama. Yes, this is a wonderful drama that has captured my heart for the last 2 months. The laughter and pain one experiences while watching it, is unprecedented. Life basically stands still for me, and I cannot pick up another drama to watch with real enthusiasm. If you haven't, maybe you should start watching the anime. I normally don't watch animations but this one is just fantastic.
Yeah, the first time when Wei Ying saves the Wen's remnants and asks Lan Zhan to let them go. Lan Zhan does and…
That's why our hearts ache for both - Wei Ying for obvious reason, and Lan Zhan for his love and devotion for Wei Ying that is not being returned, at least until pretty late (because Wei Ying is kind of a, .... er... knucklehead). Fans, don't bash me! XD
I love your review and I share your points. When I first started, and saw the 3 Su kids, that was the first question I asked - it's not possible in that era to have 3 kids and not being punished or forced abortion. Both Su sons' wives are single children in their families. I feel the same way as you do in terms of the message - "family is everything and no matter what, you should always forgive family". I cannot accept such message too.
I have not read the novel. Can you kindly enlighten me how the story ends in the novel? Thanks.
I came across a comment somewhere and it said something along the lines of "Lan Zhan cried for Wei Ying only twice…
Yeah, the first time when Wei Ying saves the Wen's remnants and asks Lan Zhan to let them go. Lan Zhan does and cries because he knows he may not see him (Wei Ying) again and Wei Ying would be outcast. But it is raining cats and dogs and dark that night. Only we, the audience, see Lan Zhan's tears, Wei Ying has left with the Wens and never sees the tears.
The second time is the most heart wrenching scene when Wei Ying is out cold in Lan Zhan's arms, and Lan Zhan finds out about Wei Ying giving his own golden core to Jiang Chen. Lan Zhan cries. That scene is by far the most loved scene from most of the viewers.
Yes, I'm obsessed with the novel too. I read it on my cell phone whenever I'm in a car ride. I've never used to enjoy car rides this much; I don't even care about traffic congestion anymore because I'm enjoying my time with the novel. That's how magical this whole thing is!
On days like today when I extremely miss The Untamed I’ll go on here and read the comments and it brighten up…
Yes, we're extremely extra here; we're crazy XD. I'm glad we're like this because it's so satisfying, especially when we see more and more fans going through what we're going through. Let's share our fond experiences of this drama together.
I already watched the drama 3times. I feel like I have to watch it again I miss them already. I will never get…
Welcome to the club. I dare say most of us here have watched The Untamed multiple times, read the novel, watched the anime, listened to the audio, watched all available fan videos and snippets, we are still hungry for more. Let's comfort each other here XD.
Yes, you're so right, and I love the attitude you're adopting, just like Wei Ying's - 'who cares?' You're living for yourself, doing what you love. Fully support you. Yay!
WY through song and music. I just found out that the song the song LZ played on his chuqin during the time WY…
This comment was posted before, but I'm re-posting it here:
"Talking about Lan Zhan's expression of trying to suppress an emotion that is overflowing, I only recently found out about the song that Lan Zhan plays for Wei Ying for healing, the hidden message in that song (original song - 'You still don't understand my heart') is so fitting. Some lines in the original song include, "I'm scared I cannot handle my deep love for you, so I don't dare to go near you; You said you want to go away, my heart hurts secretly, but I won't let you see the tears in my eyes." These are the emotions Wang Yibo has to express on his face without words and he nails it! Bravo!"
There, don't the verses make your heart wrenched? For me, it's like an epiphany. :D
Among many other flaws, I just spotted a zombie wearing jeans. Still unwavering love for this drama. There, critics, what do you make of that? Call us crazies, I don't mind (speaking for myself) XD.
After 2 month re-watch and re-read all about mo dao zu shi... finally i can get over and a bit boring... try to…
Nah, don't even attempt to try watching anything else. Re-watching this one definitely feels 100 times better.
I have given up so many other dramas; not even watching my favorite actors Deng Lun, Ma Tian Yu, Yang Zi and so on. I'm just stuck here with Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo.
Talking about Lan Zhan's expression of trying to suppress an emotion that is overflowing, I only recently found…
Absolutely! This drama is like a treasure hunt; it leaves hints here and there. Only a discerning audience can pick up those clues and hidden messages, and that's why it's so appealing.
Now I understand how hard it must have been for Wang Yibo to act that character; he needs to think about all the pend up emotions in Lan Zhan to display them (the emotions) on his face without overdoing it. No wonder behind the scenes, you see Wang Yibo constantly suppressing his own smiles or cheekiness, especially when he's with Xiao Zhan.
I haven't listened to any of these so I wouldn't know how they're. I don't even know if they are in Mandarin or translated into English. Maybe after you listen to them, you can let us know which one is better? Thanks.
